The Gateway Pundit reported that Mark Holodnak, a local Realtor and the Legislative District 12 Democratic Party Treasurer in Arizona, came under fire after he was seen chasing young women and screaming obscenities after they took a photo with ICE agents in Arizona. Holodnak was caught on camera with a group of leftists harassing the girls after they reportedly took a photo with agents at Zipps Sports Grill, a popular Valley restaurant chain, that has come under investigation for federal law violations likely related to immigration. Fifteen locations have been shut down since Monday, and anti-ICE protesters have shown up...

After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, and the violent targeting of federal agents in Minnesota, non-leftists in America must accept that leftists intend to do them harm. There are no signs that Democrats want to de-escalate political tensions in the United States. On the contrary, at least since community organizer Barack Obama became president, escalation -- including verbal harassment, stalking, physical intimidation, and outright violence -- has been a key component of Democrats’ political strategy. Scaring political opponents into silence or subjugation is now standard operating procedure for the Democrat Party. Elected Republicans have proven...

Good news, everybody: We’ve figured out why Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois is very concerned about AI deepfakes. It’s not because he believes that fake images generated by ChatGPT or Grok are going to confuse smart people, or even the average person. He’s like your dim, aged Uncle Dick from Springfield, who wants to ban high-speed internet because he doesn’t get why we can’t just stick to AOL after he spent long learning it. He doesn’t understand these socials medians things with the Facebookers and the Instantgrammars and whatnot. Why can’t he just stick to “Keyword: PBS?” On Wednesday,...

You know what the common thread is here, but we have a deep dive into the leftist mayhem over Immigration and Customs Enforcement. For some reason, these progressives think the law doesn’t apply to them, their self-righteous disposition being a legal and physical shield from harm. That is precisely wrong, as Renee Good and Alex Pretti, two activists who’ve been shot and killed by immigration officers for interfering in law enforcement actions, have learned. It’s also set the city of Minneapolis on fire. Kevin Bass posted an excellent Twitter thread about these incidents and found that two-thirds of the confrontations...

There is a cynical reason why Democrat leaders keep illegal aliens in the country. It is not for humanitarian reasons. The net effect of increases in both legal and illegal immigration in the 2020 Census shifted 17 House seats and 17 Electoral College votes. It resulted in a net gain of 14 seats in blue states. Ten seats shifted from red states and four from battleground states. It’s partly due to districts with high percentages of noncitizens who lean heavily Democrat. “Of the 24 districts where one in five adults is not an American citizen, twenty were won by a...

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson admitted Wednesday he was “in regular communication” with other mayors leading so-called “sanctuary cities” in efforts to impede enforcement of federal immigration laws. President Donald Trump called for an end to “sanctuary cities” in a post on Truth Social Monday, following a series of shootings, two of them fatal, that took place in Minneapolis involving Department of Homeland Security personnel engaged in immigration enforcement operations. Johnson said during a press conference at the National Press Club he’d been talking with Democratic Mayors Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Michelle Wu of Boston about how to combat...

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (Deranged-MN) exhorts ICE Watcherd to put their bodies on the line to prevent ICE from kidnapping innocent people among other delusional things

Mark Elias, DNC and Hillary Clinton lawyer, is backing a lawsuit filed in Minnesota on behalf of illegal alien detainees. Taxpayer-funded lawyers sue the feds to create more demand for their product. I’m not kidding. The lawsuit (viewable here) was filed yesterday in federal district court in Minnesota (Case No. 26-cv-479) and reported this morning. The lawsuit was filed as a “class action complaint” with the proposed class being all illegal aliens being held in federal custody in Minnesota. The plaintiffs include a Minneapolis-based nonprofit, The Advocates for Human Rights. They put out a press release this morning under the...

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has a bigger budget than any other U.S. law enforcement agency at $85 billion. That’s far greater than the budget for the U.S. Marines, yet it’s hard to see any of the same competence and professionalism in ICE operations. Donald Trump returned to the White House with a promise to slash government waste and inefficiency through a Department of Government Efficiency. Congress should now create a DOGE to rein in wasted taxpayer money, poor management, incompetent behavior and mission creep at ICE....

A collection of far-left groups — led by a Communist activist network tied to CCP-linked millionaire Marxist Neville Roy Singham — is attempting to organize a nationwide anti-ICE school and business shutdown, with anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour declaring that “we will bring this country to a halt.” The general strike effort, scheduled for this Friday, is an attempt to replicate a Minnesota-wide anti-ICE shutdown which occurred last Friday and which was organized by many of the same far-left groups — but now with designs to do so on a national scale. The planned “National Shutdown” announced early this week includes...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ramped up his divisive attacks on the Trump administration even after the president deployed “border czar” Tom Homan to de-escalate the unrest following the shooting of Alex Pretti. “They started this fire and we are not going to give them credit for putting it out,” Walz told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in his first TV interview since the 37-year-old nurse was shot dead during a scuffle with Border Patrol agents on Saturday. The embattled governor said he had met with Homan and there was a “tone shift” and “progress,” however, he then needled the border czar, implying...

"Minnesota Democrats hate ICE because they're deporting their voters." —Gunther Eagleman on "X". Neville Roy Singham. Isn’t it obvious by now that the seditious mischief roiling Minneapolis is some kind of a demonstration project for a China-backed overthrow of the whole country? This is not hard. And, apparently, the Democratic Party is either a willing accomplice or a hostage in thrall to its captor — like Patty Hearst, the heiress kidnapped and bamboozled by psychotic Maoist maniacs who styled themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army, until she was happily making bombs and robbing banks with them (and ended up in prison)....

NEW: Fox News has learned that Patrick J. Schiltz, the Minnesota federal judge who is threatening to hold ICE Director Todd Lyons in contempt of court & is ordering him to appear in court on Friday, appears in a 2019 list of donors & volunteers for the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an organization that provides free legal advice and representation for illegal immigrants. Judge Schiltz was appointed by President Bush in 2006.

Transcription People keep saying the same two things about the Pretti shooting here in Minneapolis. They say, you have the right to observe and film. They say, you have the right to carry a gun if you have a permit. Now, of course, both of those statements are true, but both of them are completely misleading when ripped out of context. Because what both of those statements do is substitute slogans for circumstances. And circumstances are everything. Let's start with the gun. Yes, in Minnesota, if you have a permit, you can carry a firearm. That's absolutely true. But every...

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson (D) stated Monday that the state government aims to “partner” with the anti-ICE groups illegally tracking and hounding federal law enforcement agents. The governor expressed support for the anti-ICE insurgency in his state just one day before the FBI launched an investigation into the Signal chat groups organizing the the anti-ICE insurgency in Minnesota. Ferguson held a press conference alongside Washington’s Attorney General Nick Brown (D.) to condemn ICE after two agitators in Minnesota were fatally shot by federal agents. Brown was widely criticized last month after he warned independent journalists to stop investigating alleged fraudulent...

A Democrat running to be Ohio’s attorney general promised to kill President Donald Trump if he wins the November election. Elliot Forhan, a former state representative and current attorney general candidate, posted a plan outlining how he would “kill Donald Trump.” “I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump,” Forhan said in a video. “I mean I’m going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with...

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: A Virginia judge has STRUCK DOWN state Democrats' push to gerrymander the state to get more blue seats for the 2026 midterms "This could foil their efforts to pick up House seats in November...the judge ruled it's INVALID." BIG WIN! 🔥

A state court on Tuesday blocked Virginia Democrats’ redistricting effort, delivering a setback to the party’s plans to redraw congressional lines ahead of November’s midterm elections. Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled that Democrats in the General Assembly failed to follow the correct procedures when they launched a last-minute effort to change the state’s constitution and pave the way for a mid-decade redraw. Democratic legislative leaders said they intended to immediately appeal the ruling. If the ruling is upheld, however, it delivers a major blow to the party’s hopes of picking up as many as four additional seats...

There will be plenty of verbal sparring in this year’s governor’s race, but what are the top issues that Pennsylvania voters want Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and presumed Republican challenger state Treasurer Stacy Garrity to address? Well, if recent polls provide an accurate snapshot, the economy and healthcare will lead voters’ lists from now until Election Day on Nov. 3. “The governor’s race is certainly going to be affected by the same issues that will affect the broader midterm cycle with inflation, employment and healthcare all weighing on the races,” said Chris Borick, a political science professor and the director...

Elliot Forhan, who is running for Ohio attorney general, has gone viral after a disturbing social media post in which he used the phrase “I am going to kill Donald Trump” to describe his frustration with the president. Forhan, whose campaign promises include “tax the rich” and “stand up to bullies,” publicly threatened Trump in an Instagram video. Libs of TikTok then reshared the video on X, and the post quickly went viral, amassing well over 250,000 views in its first hour online. After introducing himself, Forhan walks listeners through what he specifically means when he says, “I am going...
